Why is this man sitting next to THOUSANDS of unpainted miniatures?

During the move of the Squidmar studio to my new place, we went through ALL of my Warhammer and miniature boxes and counted every single unpainted one... It's a lot.

I’ve played 40k since the early 90’s and over the years have literally bought thousands of miniatures. About a year ago I made a conscious decision to sell off everything except my main army of interest (World Eaters). I then spent the last year painting the backlog of my main army and now have over 5k points of painted models: far more than I’ll ever need for a typical game. This has completely liberated me as a Hobbiest: i only paint when I want to now with zero pressure to have to do so. I can paint five minutes a day simply for the fun of it or not pick up a brush for a week if I choose with no feelings of not making progress, etc. I also find I now spend a lot more time on models I choose to paint because there is no pressure to have to finish so I can chip away at some overwhelming backlog and my individual models look better than ever as a result. I’ve never been more relaxed nor enjoyed myself more as a 40k Hobbiest and gamer and I’m never going back to having a huge backlog hanging over my head.

@sndgamingchannel9279 3 жыл бұрын

Learning to buy only what you can realistically paint is the way. I have maybe like 2-3 boxes on rotation at once, seems to work well. I think I'd get anxiety and not get much enjoyment if I had that many to do. Just looks like a job when you're like...yeah if I paint everyday this will take 2+ years to paint.

@RieksVisser 3 жыл бұрын

I'm in the process of doing the same and it's extremely liberating. The paralysis of starting to work on what I'll never finish is gone.

@Bryan-zx8cl 3 жыл бұрын

You have made a very valid point. I've been playing 40K since the early 90's, as well. I have four armies. Each one is approximately 3,500 points or more. I live overseas in a remote area. I have only one opponent. Therefore, I prefer to bring a different army for each session, so that my opponent doesn't feel bored fighting against the same army, every time. However, I envy the fact that you have consolidated your army. In my case, using an airbrush has reduced painting times. Now, I am re-evaluating my need for this many models....

And add in time for removing moldlines, cleaning the painting area, conversions, repairing broken minis, interrupting kids, interrupting adults, ordwring spare parts for the airbrush, cleaning the airbrush, scanning e-bay for complimentary models... 4 hours per model is not a bad estimate even if you only spend 2 hours painting.
